    Updating my review from a couple of years ago. The garlic knots are still the best in town. The food and pizza are absolutely delicious. And we were able to get an 18 " speciality pizza 1/2 Carnivore and 1/2 Bianco Deluxe. Most places don't let you split a speciality pizza like that. Service was great. Hailey was very friendly and helpful. Looks like they changed the inside a bit and it was booths now. There is picnic tables outside and I am not sure if that is new or not new. Highly recommend checking out this place for pizza. You won't regret it. And don't forget to get those garlic knots. :)

    Great pizza good service. Amanda took care of our order well. She said 20 minutes. It was done in 18. Not really sure what New York style pizza taste like, but it was very good . My kid loved the garlic knots. Ambience is great for a small family run pizza joint Will go back again !

    Omg these burgers, fries, and BBQ sauce!
    Lexy M.

    We're absolutely blown away in every way! Worth the drive from oceanfront! The best burgers, pizza, bbq sauce, ranch, and garlic knots I've had in all my 35 years of coming to Virginia Beach every summer. Their fries and cheddar jalapeño bites are so good too. Those garlic knots are famous for a reason! Wow just WOW! The place was really clean. There's plenty of inside and outside seating. Plenty of parking. The staff are so incredibly friendly and welcoming! It's family own and ran and they're great! We ate like kings there and can't stop talking about it. Huge delicious portions and reasonable prices. We're from NY (Queens and Western NY) and picky about pizza, ranch, burgers, and garlic knots! We LOVED them! Do yourself a favor and go to the pizza box!

    The Box Deluxe with banana peppers added. Yum

    Good New York style pizza, Friendly service. My friend is allergic to bacon of all things. She cannot even have the food if it is cooked on the same grill as the bacon. We checked. This place is great. She got a smashed chicken sandwich and fries. I got to taste it . I am getting this next time. It was great. It is a small restaurant. 4 booths and a couple of tables. There is some seating outside. We have never had an issue getting a table. Quite a few people get it to go or delivery. We usually go on the weekend. There is a steady flow but your food comes out fairly quick. We usually get the "Box Deluxe" 12inch. Sometimes we add stuff on. That is always nice that even with a specific pizza they let you customize and add on. There is plenty of parking because you can also park in the TJMaxx parking lot

    YES first let me apologize for no pictures of the food, the reason why I destroyed it each and every time. Every Item I have had was amazing, the staff even let me try some food, the guy on the pit outside can burn. The ladies taking your order are full of smiles and laughs, and the cooks just DO WORK!!! They also have a bit of a throwback theme inside the restaurant. If you are driving to fast down the BLVD you will past it, but turn around U-TURN, catch a bus, cab, I don't care just get there and you will leave full and will order more food for dinner later on that day.

    Tomato basil soup
    Claudia C.

    This restaurant is attached to a pawn business and is literally close to Virginia Beach Blvd, we entered the Foodlion parking lot, and the search began. Come to finally investigate a free-standing building with pawn signs. From the rear of this place, the signs from the back did not identify it as "The Pizza Box," just offerings of select food...subs and something else. Had we gone past it and turned at the light, it would have been no problem. Next time. No wait, order at the counter, and they bring it out to you. The staff was warm and welcoming. After a brief conversation, we learned they make their own dough and sauce. We were ready for a treat. Also, they have a handwritten board on the corner of the counter with specials. My husband ordered a bowl of tomato basil soup, one of his favorites, and this version did not disappoint. What arrived was a square bowl of piping hot soup with a basil leaf on top, under that was some cheese, I am guessing shredded mozzarella, but i could be wrong.This soup had texture to it, like the whole tomato minus the seeds all blended into a delightful, fragrant creation. A+ there, he really enjoyed it. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza and a large size (10) garlic knots that the reviews raved about. They were the best I have ever had, crispy on the outside, doughy on the inside. Fresh out of the oven, so aromatic. They were served on a plate circling a small cup of marinara sauce, all sprinkled with parmesan cheese. 5 went home. The pizza slice was the low point of the meal, a bit dry. It did have a thin crust, which I prefer, that may have contributed to its dryness. Next time, I will order a full pizza rather than a slice. The flavor was good, I have to give them that, and the pepperoni was just right. The chicken wings also had great reviews and market priced, which gives us something to look forward to next visit. Fountain drinks come in an oversized glass, so appreciated. I was looking at the smoker and picnic tables out front and thinking that must bring in the crowds when it is operating. There is something about a smoker with billowing smoke and the meat in it, making you want it. Thinking about the traffic going by and being drawn in, I know I would have stopped. There are plenty of areas to park and walk in at street level. The dining room is small, just a few tables and a few high-top bar seats, all very clean. I would actually give 4.5 stars if the pizza was more on target, then clearly 5 stars. The staff does a great job, plenty of quality to be proud of.

    35 fantastic wings, bleu cheese, celery & an ordered side of extra honey hot sauce
    Brennen K.

    It's been a little bit, but I got the craving for pizza & wings yesterday. Unfortunately, it was Monday so my hopes were dashed but I just decided Tuesday would be alright! Knew it would be 45-60min delivery, hey quality is not lightning speed & I planned accordingly. Happily ordered up on Local/Toast as soon as my work was done. Ordered 35 wings cuz last time I was disappointed I ate the bakers dozen so fast. Ordered crispy cooked honey hot, as usual- OMD, perfect. Crunchy skin and juicy tender inside! Went a lil different on pizza, pepperoni, pineapple and extra cheese. Crispy cooked, also. Accidentally clicked bacon, removed, then thought- WTF NOT? It was a good choice to go with happy accident. Excellent addition. The crust, as always, is perfect balance of crispy, biteable exterior with a really nice pull/chew that is perfectly satisfying. My only complaint is on me- I forgot the garlic knots! But honestly this will keep me busy for a while. And let me tell you- with air fryer for reheats leftovers are just as amazing as fresh delivered. If I were going to eat it all upon delivery, like if there were several folks available, I might order Xtra crispy for my personal preference. But honestly the crispy is fantastic, and lets me re-live the fresh delivered with no detriment. The quality of ingredients is always a step above, the delivery folks are always professional & super nice, and the taste is always exceptional. I don't even mess around when I want delivery, I know exactly where to go for a consistently exceptional experience. Thank you, Pizza Box!

    Literally our new favorite pizza spot. Mom and Pop vibes. Great service. These people are so kind. We usually opt for a 14" half pep and sausage and half broccoli and onion. I typically order a beer while I wait and they always offer a chilled glass. At $28, plus the option to sign up for loyalty rewards, Pizza Box is a steal for how good this pizza. I cannot get enough.

    Box deluxe
    Zane O.

    They have authentic New York style pizza. Great variety of pizzas. We get the "Box Deluxe " good flavor on the sauce with the right about of toppings. 12 inch is plenty for my wife and I for lunch. Great service and really friendly staff. Beer and soda available. I like to get the lemonade

    Garlic knots!
    Mary H.

    This place is a real gem! Super friendly service, cute mom & pop atmosphere and delicious food! The garlic knots are the best we've ever had and I could have made a meal just of them! Calzone was huge despite it being a small and it was filled to the brim with delicious cheese and our choice of bacon & ricotta garlic. We also tried the Margarita which was a bit sweet with the balsamic and the deluxe with added bacon which was amazing. Definitely one to support, The Pizza box is a new family fav!

    I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. It was good, but I thought it was weird that they put red onions on a margherita pizza. I do like red onions, but I wasn't expecting it. I did like that on the inside though, they had longaberger baskets on every table with spices and menus in there. That was a really nice touch. Idk what my husband got, but he liked it. The employees were friendly and the place was cute. I'll try it again in the future, but will probably try another pizza.

    Do they take credit cards? Sometimes these "mom and pop" places are stuck in the '50s on cash only payments.

    They definitely take credit cards. I used one to pay every time I've gone there.

The ambiance was nice, the open kitchen with the wood fire hearth right at the entrance added a warm cozy feel from the onset. The restaurant was warmly lit but not dark. We were seated immediately in the far left dining area in an elevated booth. After reviewing the menu we settled on the fried deviled eggs and wood fire oysters for starters and the Vincent Vega pizza for dinner. Fried deviled eggs was a first for us and it was so good! The egg white was breaded very lightly and fried and the egg yolk was piped on top with a piece of smoky delicious bacon goodness. It had a nice smoky, bacon-y taste and we devoured them. I only wish you got more than 2 pieces. I think 4 pieces would be better for the price considering it's essentially one egg but I'm not complaining. The wood fire oysters was another hit for us, the serving came with 6 half shell oysters topped with breadcrumbs (light), swimming in butter and fire roasted. I think we ate these even faster than the deviled eggs lol! Would definitely get these again. The pizza also did not disappoint. If you like bacon, mushrooms and creamy Boursin cheese, you'll love this pizza. We added crushed red pepper flakes which added a nice kick. The crust is the star of the show; thin, crispy but still has body and slightly chewy. Yum! That wood fire hearth definitely makes a difference. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back! The staff were also very nice and friendly.

My boyfriend and I went to Shorebreak for the first US game of the World Cup. As expected, it was an absolute zoo. We didn't have reservations or seats. Somewhat dejected, we approached the packed bar and admittedly, I expected a serious wait before I got a drink. In comes Martina! She almost immediately flagged me over to get a us drink and started my tab. We ended up moving outside and found some seats at the outside bar, so thrilled! Of course, Hannah was quick to take our orders. All was well... then came the rain. It turned into a downpour and we had to rush inside. We wondered about our nacho order while we dripped from the rain, packed into a sea of people. But Hannah found us right away! She got us more drinks and checked on the nachos. She said they were probably cold at this point and insisted that she put them in again. She brought us more drinks and nachos all in the chaos of the night and never forgot about us. At halftime, I realized I needed to close out my tab with Martina at the indoor bar and was dreading it, as it had only gotten more crowded. But once again, immediately upon my return, Martina found me and closed my tab for me. As usual, the food and drinks were delicious. But I really wanted to point out the exemplary service we received (esp by Martina and Hannah) on one of the craziest nights I've ever experienced at Shorebreak! Wonderfully run place, and the service really made the difference between a disastrous night and a memorable one.

Upon entry a sign signaled of BOGO burgers, and immediately my melancholy demeanor turned to excitement. Throughout our dinner we experienced great drinks, great service, and the best part... great camaraderie amongst my crew. Still reminiscing of our great time and would recommend to any common folk. Now comes the bad, when we received the bill; let me tell you I was shocked! When I read -$7.5 off as a freind and I ordered a $24 Burger and split the bill. Am I crazy? half of 24 is 12, why am I seeing 7.5? Being the astute young man I aspire to be, my first instinct is to question and deep dive. We were blindsided to hear that in Shorebreak's dictionary BOGO means by one burger get the second one $15 off or the price of the cheapest burger with no cheese, and no add-ons. There was no warning, no asterisk on the sign, no fine print on the menu. My review is not out of spite and not to spark any anger or backlash but to inform the general public of a clear cut example of false advertisement. like I said the food, service, views were well above par, and I happily paid my bill and spoke with the manager on duty of an obvious communication error that was received in an apathetic manner. PSA to all Shorebreaker's that BOGO is not what you think it is and I don't want to see any other unsuspecting users fall in the same trap. 4/5 stars food was great the sign could use and update.

We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger.

I placed an order online for it to be ready by around 7:10 pm on Friday. I got their small meal deal, and ordered their mango habanero wings, a greek salad, and their prosciutto bliss pizza. I was really set on the arugula being on my pizza, but unfortunately I did not check that everything was on there. It was missing both the balsamic drizzle and the arugula, which I was super pissed about. Everything else in the order was correct, but when the main meal is the pizza, it's a real bummer when it's wrong. It also seems like they used bacon instead of prosciutto. The crust was also not exaggerated in the photo, it genuinely was a thick breadstick all around the perimeter. It almost seemed like a stuffed crust, except it was all bread. The center of the pizza, where all the toppings are, was super thin, so I guess that's where all the rest of the dough went. The toppings themselves were hardly there, I think. I couldn't taste the cheese whatsoever. It was practically dissolved into the dough, it just looked like from the top that there was cheese, but it was so flavorless and thin all over it didn't taste like there was any. It didn't seem like they used any sauce either, it was dry. I don't even think they put any caramelized onions on it. At this point, it felt ridiculous to eat it. So, I went out and bought some arugula to put on top and drenched it in balsamic to give it any semblance of flavor. Even the bacon hardly had flavor, and it seemed like they didn't really put a lot on there. This was not the pizza that I remembered from last time. This was not worth spending money on. As far as the rest of the food went, it was average. Salad had everything on it, and the dressing was good. The wings I thought were a bit overcooked and not saucy enough. The sauce itself was good, and had a little kick. Their blue cheese dressing to dip in also had good flavor. After all this, would I come back here? No, if I'm being honest. When you're a pizza place, your pizza should be great, not whatever this fiasco was.

    The pizza is fantastic and the staff really go above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable!read more
